Description: | A complete copper-alloy late Anglo-Saxon stirrup strap mount of Williams type A 12 (Williams 1997, 69-74, fig 46-47). This strap mount is lozenge shaped measuring 46.5mm in height and 32.7mm in width at its central widest point. It has a flat circular apex loop with a circular hole through its centre. The lozenge shape has a central diagonal cross, which is open work with four apertures. There are rounded protruding bosses in the centre of the cross, at the junctions of the cross and the frame and at either middle tip of the lozenge shape itself. There are therefore seven bosses in total. The mount has no lower fixing hole, and a rectangular flange set at c45 degree angle to the mount, the flange has a circular hole through its centre. This implies that this strap mount was fixed through its flange. Similar type A 12 open work strap mounts are known from Peasenhall (see SF-9703) and Ashbocking (see SF-A123B0), Suffolk.
